>Are you sure you want to exit the form by placing 0 in the textbox? May be you just want to exit it by ESC?

THE USERS have always done it by entering a zero, then hitting return, so without upsetting too much, I thought I would eliminate them having to hit RETURN and having 1 keystroke do the trick.

>>If I may explain something as example, the user enters "666" in the textbox on form A and goes to an edit form B for job number "666" and does some editing. When done with Form B, control returns to Form A with the number "666" still showing. To close out Form A, user should be able to simply hit "0".
>>That last code you submitted looks like it should work except that, like I mentioned, this.value/this.text does not hold the value of the leading "0" just entered. I also have to keep in mind that the zero in job number 450 should not trigger. does this make sense?
